Research Interests

Ole Madsen’s research interests focus on physical processes in the coastal environment, including, but not limited to, transformation of waves up to breaking and beyond with emphasis on the development of simple, yet realistic, models for the turbulent wave bottom boundary, the interaction of waves and current, e.g. wave-induced long-shore currents in the surf zone, the interaction of coastal combined wave-current flows with bottom sediments and the resulting bottom boundary layer processes influencing sediment transport mechanics in the coastal environment.
